Thanks to the newly released Crown Tundra DLC expansion, trainers in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield can capture all of the Legendary Pokemon found throughout the series. This includes the three Legendary dogs.
However, finding these Legendary Pokemon won’t be easy off the bat in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Players will first need to complete a few objectives in the Crown Tundra before going off on their search.
The three Legendary dogs are Suicune, Entei, and Raikou. Suicune is a pure water-type, Entei is a pure fire-type, and Raikou is a pure electric-type Pokemon.
The first thing that players need to do is to unlock the Max Raid Den in the Crown Tundra. Players will be invited onto a Max Lair run by Peony, which will eventually result in a battle with one of the three Legendary dogs. However, players will need to get through a few other Dynamax encounters beforehand.
The Legendary dog that will appear first will be random for each player. Players should note, however, that they can only capture one Pokemon from each Max Lair run, and each Legendary pokemon can only be caught once. Additionally, Players will only know if the Legendary Pokemon is a shiny after they decide to take it.
When going up against the Legendary dogs, their battles won’t be easy ones. Because of this, players are recommended to play toward each Pokemon’s weaknesses in battle. Suicune has a weakness against grass and electric type moves. Entei has a weakness against ground, rock, and water-type moves. Finally, Raikou has a weakness to only ground-type moves.
Players will need to keep trying Max Lair runs until they find the legendary dog Pokemon they are looking for. However, as players unlock more Legendary Pokemon to appear in the Max Lair, it may become more difficult for players to find the specific Legendary dog Pokemon if they don’t pursue them right away.
As mentioned before, the Legendary dogs are not shiny-locked like the Galarian Legendary birds and Calyrex. However, the odds of finding a shiny Legendary dog will prove to be very low, as the odds are 1 in 300 under normal circumstances. This can be made to a 1 in 100 chance if players have a Shiny Charm. Shiny Raikou has more of an orange color to it, shiny Entei has black face fur instead of red, and shiny Suicune has a blue mane instead of a purple mane.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are available on Nintendo Switch.
